ab

Maranatha was so kind to send me some almond butter to *review* on the blog, even though we all know how much I love it. I love all almond butter- I don’t discriminate 😉 They also sent sunflower seed butter and Dark Chocolate Peanut spread (which looks like frosting, which is ok with me) 😀

See those coupons at the bottom of the pic?

Those are for a lucky winner.

It’s GIVEAWAY TIME 😀

One almond-butter lovin’ Fitnessista will win 3 coupons – each coupon is for any size jar of Maranatha product

To make things even more fun, I’ll throw in a batch of my vegan almond butter chocolate chip cookies

  2. Laura on July 17, 2010 at 3:12 pm

    I looooove almond butter out of the jar. But I also like it on top of some good ole oatmeal. Delish.



  3. Kelsey H on July 17, 2010 at 3:20 pm

  9. Vanessa on July 17, 2010 at 3:43 pm

    I love almond butter on top of a frozen banana…delicious!



  11. Nikita on July 17, 2010 at 3:52 pm

    My favorite use for almond butter is melted with honey as the liquid in my homemade granola. I used to use peanut butter, but I find almond butter is milder and better compliments new flavor experiments!



  12. Julianne on July 17, 2010 at 4:05 pm

    My favorite use is as the “glue” on a fruit & seed cracker to hold some dried cherries on top!! The perfect snack.



  13. maggie on July 17, 2010 at 4:07 pm

    i guess my fav would be how I am consuming AB right now, on a cold sliced fuji…or straight from the jar to catch all the yummy!



  14. marie on July 17, 2010 at 4:10 pm

    Definitely in a breakfast cookie!!!



  15. Simone on July 17, 2010 at 4:15 pm

    I love it on apples and straight up on a spoon:)



  16. Heather on July 17, 2010 at 4:17 pm

  17. bianka on July 17, 2010 at 4:19 pm

    ALMOND BUTTER!!! I just ran out and I think I’m having withdrawls. It’s all I think about when I wake up and before I go to sleep. Not normal but I guess it’s good I’m addicted to that and not crack 🙂 My fav way to eat it? on millet bread mmmmmmm, on top of chocolate protein cakes yumm, straight up ahhh, I think anyway is good lol as long as it’s in my mouth!



  18. Liz on July 17, 2010 at 4:20 pm

    But one of my faves is melted on top of a flax pancake with cinnamon, banana and honey. Yummmyyy



  21. the letting go on July 17, 2010 at 4:24 pm

    Love it mixed with Greek yogurt and cinnamon as a dip for fruit (peaches, apples, berries). Really the fruit is just a means of getting to the almond butter/yogurt dip…



  22. Savannah on July 17, 2010 at 4:26 pm

    the more difficult question is: where do i NOT love/use almond butter? manna from heaven, i tell you; though au natural, straight from the jar, is oh-so-yummy. ab lovers unite, babe 🙂



  23. MBH on July 17, 2010 at 4:30 pm

  24. Bliss on July 17, 2010 at 4:35 pm

  27. Linda on July 17, 2010 at 4:59 pm

  34. Rachel on July 17, 2010 at 5:28 pm

    it’s hard to pick a favorite…as of late, i like to put it on an ezekiel tortilla with shredded carrots and raisins. when in need of a sweet, protein-tastic treat, i love it straight of the jar!!

    A big spoonful plopped in a bowl of cereal. Yum!



  38. Megan (Braise The Roof) on July 17, 2010 at 5:42 pm

    My favorite way to eat it is mixed with a little cream cheese on a piece of toasted Ezekial bread. Sounds weird, but it’s oh so good. 🙂



  39. Heather on July 17, 2010 at 5:44 pm

    with carrot sticks, and of COURSE straight outta the jar!



  50. kf on July 17, 2010 at 6:50 pm

    It’s a tie between almond butter and an apple or almond butter and greek yogurt. I love it any way!
